The deadline for enrollment for air ambulance coverage previously offered by Trinity County has been extended to Feb. 28.
The previous deadline, according to Michelle Chaisson, membership manager for PHI Air Medical, was Jan. 31.
For two years, Trinity County provided PHI Cares membership coverage for all Trinity County residents, protecting them from the out-of-pocket expenses of a PHI or partner flight that originated from within the county or an adjacent county.
As part of the agreement county residents were able to upgrade to extended coverage for $30 per year per household for 1, 3, 5, or 10 years.
On Dec. 10, 2024, Trinity County Commissioners voted to not renew the air ambulance membership, so protection expired on Dec. 31, 2024.
Because the county ended the partnership, residents who purchased the upgrade became concerned, but Chaisson said those upgrades remain in effect until the term they paid for expires. Additionally, residents can secure an upgrade until Jan. 31.
Trinity County residents may upgrade online at phicares.com/trinity-county-tx/, or by phone at (985) 688-0441. A discount code TRINITYUPGRADE can be applied at checkout.
